New to the Joyner. Picked up an 07 1100 Sand Viper. Loving it. I'm a little confused though. Seems the cooling fan is always on. I have heard that it has 2 speeds, 60% and 100%. Kind of annoying realistically. One, it's right behind my ear. Thinking about moving it but my performance mind tells me that it really should only come on when the motor arrives at or above set temperature. That's where it is determined that it's running it's best, at said temperature.

Is there a mod that can be done to solve this or is it just what it is. Looking at the wiring diagrams is a bit confusing. One showed me that the fan relay was powered by the fuel pump relay which obviously has to be on, meaning the fan is always on as well. Another shows differently but I'm not an electrical guru. I am very handy and know my way around motors, been doing MC mechanic and auto stuff practically my whole life but this one is a bit wierd.

Did find out that, lol, they were a bit upside down in their shift pattern in certain years. I know there's a fix, which I will do, but never before have I seen 1st gear left and back, except the three on the tree days.

Thanks in advance for your help folks

agreed with always on,you could put in a manual over ride switch and turn on as you feel/monitor is needed (forget and ...) install a temp switch and have it turn on/off thru a new relay automatically...or once you are driving it hard,you will be so busy you will barely notice it is on...Hardy

You are correct about fuel pump relay feeds fan relay and always on in stock set up, you could break the wire to the fan relay and put a controller in line there, but it would have to be really really annoying for me to do that, and where are you going to pick up the temperature to turn on the fan?

On mine, 07, the fan is right behind the seat. On 2010 it's down behind the motor where the tank used to be as they redesigned the tank to fit behind the seat. That's really quiet but IMO in too dirty a location. And the newer models they are back on top aft of the motor sort of angled with the spoiler/toolbox.

The temp sensor, right by the thermostat, has 3 wires. 2 are used to control the temperature gage. The other is used to turn on the Coolant Temperature Light when it's above 102 C.(215F). If the relay were inline with the light signal it should work shouldn't it? You already have a gage, having a gage and a light is a bit overkill but a good overkill. I was just thinking to use this to control the relay that's already there.

I wouldnt try to use the stock relay,or stock light sender...when the light comes on is kinda too late for fan..there are senders that sense off your rad,your coolant hose,or at cylinder head...or install a sender in a T at head or rad..I would use that to trigger new a relay not tied to factory fuse panel ...Hardy

      I have a 2018 cub cadet challenger 750 I bought brand new almost 2 years ago the first month I had it the exhaust broke and burnt the spark plug wire in two that was a recall so the dealership installed the new one it had a different design and it bolted up to the bottom two plugs below the spark plug the dealership said they had to Adjust the exhaust valves I get the machine back thanking everything is good now wrong not even a week after I get it back the timing chain tensioner comes apart inside the motor I take it back to the dealership They put one on I get the machine back thanking everything is good but then just like before not even a week goes by when I was riding the Machine automatically quits going come to find out the wet clutch was burned up the primary clutch head stripped off of the splines I get that fixed and then  it overheats I take it back they bleed the air out of the coolant they bring it back to me the same day that I get it back it overheats again I take it back they temporarily fix it again just enough to let the warranty run out and now the machine has been to multiple different mechanics I have had them try to bleed the air out they have stood it up on its end I have had the water pump changed I have had the fan hooked to a switch so I could leave it on all the time but still almost 2 years later not even 200 hours on the machine and I cannot ride it The dealership will not take it back as a lemon I have tried I am at my wits end I have no clue what to try next

      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?
